A multi-agent softbot to retrieve medical information on Internet.

World-Wide Web is a media where information is unstructured, distributed, multimedia and multilingual. Many tools have been developed to help users search for information: subject hierarchies, general search engines, browsers and search assistants. Although helpful, they show serious limitations, mainly in terms of precision, multilingual indexing and distribution.

Trends in medical information retrieval on Internet.

Information on the World Wide Web is unstructured, distributed, multimedia and multilingual. Many tools have been developed to help users search for useful information: subject hierarchies, general search engines, browsers and search assistants. Although helpful, they present serious limitations, mainly in terms of precision, multilingual indexing and distribution.

MARVIN, multi-agent softbot to retrieve multilingual medical information on the Web.

The World-Wide Web is an unstructured, multimedia and multilingual information network. While most efforts have addressed the structuring issue, very few attempts have been proposed to provide support for multilingual information retrieval. Yet, medical information is now available all over the world.

Health On the Net automated database of health and medical information.

With the number of World Wide Web sites growing every day, the problem is not just to find information, but to locate the right piece of information. Current World Wide Web search engines have not resolved this problem as they most often return a long list of documents. The search result is then unusable because of the large number of answers from different domains and topics.

RNA-d2: a computer program for editing and display of RNA secondary structures.

RNA-d2 is a user-friendly program developed for interactively generating aesthetic and non-overlapping drawings of RNA secondary structures. It designed so that the drawings can be edited in a very natural and intuitive way, in order to emphasize structural homologies between several molecules, as well as the foldings themselves to update the base-pair sets according to new data. The program automatically produces a polygonal display in which the unpaired nucleotides are regularly positioned on circles and the stems harmoniously distributed on their periphery.
